Product Developments and Trends
Women tended to wear lighter foundation in the 1970s, which greatly increased the market for skin care products. Anti-aging products were also increasingly important.
Intensely colored blush carried over from the 1960s to the early 1970s. Tube blush was also extremely popular. Lipstick in the 1970s tended to be either color or gloss; popular hues included deep pink, purple, and raspberry.
Improvements in chemistry enabled the introduction of waterproof mascara along with better lash lengtheners and thickeners. Matte colors were popular for eyes, in contrast to the iridescence that characterized 1960s make-up. The decade's competing visions of beauty were seen in its dichotomy of eye shadow colors: both dramatic, smoky dark gray and transparent, natural beiges and grays were popular.

Famous quotes containing the words product, developments and/or trends:
“[The political mind] is a strange mixture of vanity and timidity, of an obsequious attitude at one time and a delusion of grandeur at another time. The political mind is the product of men in public life who have been twice spoiled. They have been spoiled with praise and they have been spoiled with abuse.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“The developments in the North were those loosely embraced in the term modernization and included urbanization, industrialization, and mechanization. While those changes went forward apace, the antebellum South changed comparatively little, clinging to its rural, agricultural, labor-intensive economy and its traditional folk culture.”
—C. Vann Woodward (b. 1908)
“Thanks to recent trends in the theory of knowledge, history is now better aware of its own worth and unassailability than it formerly was. It is precisely in its inexact character, in the fact that it can never be normative and does not have to be, that its security lies.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
